Charts and Graphics in Excel 2007

Its easy to chart and list that contains two columns you want to graph one with text labels and one with numeric data. But in real life, you'll need to deal with many different types of data that occupy many different configurations on your worksheet.

  • Learn how to print a chart. Depends on the type of chart you've created. You can print embedded charts either with worksheet data or on their own. Standalone charts, which occupy separate worksheets, always print on separate pages.
